In my never ending (but started just last week) quest to spread WO

update the Usage section of the Apache entry in Wikipedia.
THE APACHE ENTRY
Before:
Apache is redistributed as part of various proprietary packages,
such as the Oracle database or the IBM WebSphere application
server. Mac OS X integrates Apache as its built-in web server. It
is also supported in some way by Borland in the Kylix and Delphi
development tools. Apache is included with Novell Netware 6.5,
where it is the default web server.

Gosh, it's easy to update those wikipedia entries. Let's see how
long the change lasts.

THE WEBOBJECTS ENTRY
If someone else wants to take a shot at PR, you might read the
WebObjects entry page on Wikipedia. Particularly the middle portion
of this section which, though it may be true, certainly casts no
favorable light on WO:
Originally released by NeXT Software in March 1996, WebObjects was
the world's first object-oriented Web application server. The time
and cost benefits of object-oriented development attracted major
corporations to WebObjects in the early days of e-commerce, with
clients including Disney, Dell Computer and BBC News. However,
following NeXT's merger into Apple Computer in 1997, WebObjects'
profile has languished in the marketplace. With many early adopters
having since switched to alternative technologies, Apple is itself
now the biggest client for WebObjects, relying on it to power its
Apple Store, .Mac online services and the iTunes Music Store —
WebObjects' most high-profile implementation to date.
Those of you who attended WWDC, and have some idea what the new WO
world is like, might want to be fashioning a replacement for some
of this entry to make WO more palatable to potential clients.
Hmmm, not very inspiring that.
